Please indicate where “common sense” is found in “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” ?
I can recall when we all carried in commercial flights and NOTHING EVER HAPPENED !
IF Todd Beamer just could have had his .45 !
Why do you presume that someone like this Old GrandPa Physician ex US Army Officer would be likely to harm your Grandchildren ?

I don’t understand what you’re asking but don’t make this harder than it needs to be.
For places that sell alcohol for off premises consumption, the only controlling signs are .05/.06/.07. For an LTC holder with a handgun, only .06/.07 are applicable.
For on premises consumption, 51% (red) signs still apply if TABC determines the establishment meets the red sign requirements. How TABC determines that has changed as well, so the best bet is to always check the TABC website if in doubt.
Please show where in the statute that’s the case.

Regarding this: (from your post)
"For places that sell alcohol for off premises consumption, the only controlling signs are .05/.06/.07. For an LTC holder with a handgun, only .06/.07 are applicable."
As an LTC is no longer required to carry concealed, is any of that ^^^ affected?
And if not, would non-LTC holders be deemed as LTC holders for enforcement purposes?
And again, thanks.

This brochure is probably still the best and most current reference to answer your question.
ETA, their interpretation of 30.05 on pg 14 is ultra-conservative.

Close. There never was a 1. Just a 2. But otherwise you're right.
Wow. Oh, I believe you, just - wow.
To me, natural sequence would be: Make a law, then make signage to inform re same.
So..the only place the verbiage exists is on the signs.. rather than in a statute/code/etc.
Okay then. Thanks

The verbiage regarded the sign and the sign wasn’t limited to liquor stores. And it all fell under the Alcohol Beverage Code.

Right, except there was no prohibition or penalty like the sign describes. The law just required stores to post the sign.
Yes, and I should have clarified that earlier.
I wish more folks spent time educating themselves on the statutes. Think about the founders, most of whom were self-educated and certainly with much less availability of the resources necessary to educate themselves.
Frustrating.
I’m not saying there’s a statute prohibiting someone from posting a blue sign next to their swimming pool. I’m saying there is zero basis in the statute from an enforceability standpoint. Add to it TABC has penalties for failing to display required signage. Merely pointing out a retailer has failed to remove signage that has been repealed is a valid complaint and can lead to a TABC inspection.
Is it a death sentence? No. But it can lead to death by a thousand cuts.
Thanks for that link, appreciated.
That said - there's one thing that doesn't make sense, to me.
Without getting into the weeds here - why would the same reasoning that keeps an LTC from carrying NOT also apply to a non-LTC person?
Anyone's reply would be most welcome.
Thanks!
History and stupidity.
He's referencing the difference between colleges and elementary middle or High schools and limitations regarding the definition of campus, school grounds, buildings etc. Rules for colleges and universities are different than elementary middle and High schools.
If I understanding you both correctly.
When you say campus you are referring to colleges and universities not elementary middle and High school buildings. He is referencing the latter.
Am I correct in what you mean?
I've referenced both, the rules have changed a LOT since the CHL came into being in the '90s.

Because the Legislature *REALLY* fouled a lot of things when they (unexpectedly) passed 'Constitutional Carry' and didn't review all implications.

This is my take, .06 and .07 signs were already in place, CC comes into effect and instead of changing those signs they simply added the .05 sign. So places that had either or both the .06 &.07 displayed will now have to add the .05 signage to cover all of the bases. Even though this seems to confuse the situation some it does give the public place the option to display only the .05 signage and allow LTC holders entry.
